Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 242

The next day at nightfall.

At Nathan's bidding, Penny was dressed in an elegant white gown and a pink diamond necklace which was a gift from Nathan.

She looked at her beautiful reflection in the mirror and also at Nathan who had a smile on his face. She could not help but ask softly, "Nathan, are we really going to Professor Jenson's cocktail party?"

Nathan smiled and said, "Of course!"

Penny asked worriedly. "How are we going to get in without an invitation?"

Nathan said with full confidence. "What invitation? Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get in.

Nathan and Penny drove to the venue to attend the cocktail party.

Professor Jenson had chosen to hold the party at the top level of the building, which was at the Cloud Palace.

There were actually eleven armed soldiers at the entrance to admit the guests who had an invitation card with them.

It turned out that Colin Dunne was in charge of Professor Jenson's security all this while.

Colin had also arranged for more than thirty soldiers at the venue to ensure order and safety for the night.

A junior lieutenant was grimly checking the guests' invitation cards.

He returned the card to a well-dressed couple and said, "Your invitation card is all right, so please enter."

Penny could not help but turn towards Nathan when she saw how strict they were. She whispered, "Nathan, I didn't expect there to be special forces here to maintain order at Professor Jenson's party. We are not going to be able to get in without an invitation."

A sniggering voice piped up behind her. "Hoho, and here I was thinking that Ms. Smith had found herself an invitation when she didn't look for me last night. Who would have thought that you were planning to gate crash?"

Nathan and Penny both turned their heads to see Shane Larson behind them.

Shane was dressed impeccably in Dior with a few bodyguards behind him.

He then fished out two gold-foiled invitation cards and bragged triumphantly, "Ms. Smith, now that you can't enter without an invitation, are you regretting your decision now?

Shane cried out loud. "How can this be possible?"

The junior lieutenant spoke coldly, "Nothing is impossible. Professor Jenson found out today that the Larsons have not been kind people despite your fortune.

This is against his principles as he created this cancer vaccine to benefit mankind. Hence, Professor Jenson has instructed me personally to cancel the Larsons' invitation to the party. Please leave now, sir!"

Everyone around him could not help but began to chatter about the Larsons' bad deeds, and how they have finally received their lesson tonight.

Embarrassed, Shane Larson hollered at the junior lieutenant, "That's not possible! I am the CEO of Chance Pharmaceuticals, Shane Larson, and Professor Jenson had issued the invitation to me personally. You'd better allow me to go in right now."

Voila!

The ten guards next to the junior lieutenant all raised their 95 Automatic rifles at the same time and aimed at Shane Larson and his group.

The junior lieutenant then said blankly.

"This is my first warning. Leave now."
